Do you study aqueous processes on solar system bodies using planetary mission data, modeling, and/or analog studies? If so, please submit to our #AGU session here: agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…. Deadline is July 31st and hope to see many of you in DC!! #AGU24 #AGU2024

🌈🚀 On the International Day of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM, we celebrate the contributions of LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and maths. 🌍 Today, the Pride Flags fly at our various establishments, highlighting our commitment to a more equitable and inclusive future in space and beyond. #PrideInSTEM

Purdue will not have any voting location on campus this November, even though the county asked the university to hold one. Purdue did not meet “statutory requirements,” said one staff member on the election board. purdueexponent.org/city_state/pol…

In the words of @SanjeevGupta45… it’s a brat rover summer

Excited that NASA is announcing to the world that the Perseverance rover has found a *potential* biosignature! These clay-bearing rocks host splotches that resemble a microbially-mediated texture called reduction spots, combined with a detection of carbon. Let's bring it home!

I came to Mars with a job to do: Find and sample the best rocks for future study in labs on Earth. I’ll keep this special rock core – and the others in my collection – safe until a future mission comes to take them to Earth for further study.

Laurie Leshin @LaurieofMars—JPL’s motto is “Dare Mighty Things Together,” and there’s no more daring mission than returning samples from Mars! #COSPAR2024

We need to improve traffic safety on the U Street corridor & in Adams Morgan. My amendment included in the final budget, which passed @councilofdc unanimously today, makes investments to do just that, and I appreciate @DDOTDC working with me to help address community concerns.

The space pride pin has made it to the halls of Congress! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀

At #LPSC2024? Join us for two QUIPS Events for LGBTQIA+ folks! 1) Monday 3/11 we’ll meet at ~7PM, after NASA night, in the “Creekside Park” room and walk to dinner nearby. 2) Wednesday 3/13 we’ll near the food trucks at 11:30 for lunch. Hope to see you there! #LPSC #LPSC2024

A Mastcam Multispectral Investigation of Rock Variability in Gale Crater, Mars: Implications for Alteration in the Clay-Sulfate Transition of Mount Sharp. buff.ly/48IL1ks Mg‐and Fe‐sulfates are significant in the amorphous component of the clay‐ sulfate transition region.

New #LGBTQ #pride #pins at #LPSC2024 ... come find me wandering around, in sessions, or before the QUIPS trek to dinner. Let me know how you like the design and if we should try for a larger run (or tweak it first)!

The Perseverance rover's path on Mars, overlaid on a DC map for scale, by @KarklisCarto. A lovely visualization.

Space Shuttle kiss! 😘 Enterprise and Discovery met nose to nose in April 2012 when we welcomed Discovery into our collection. #ValentinesDay

MIGRATION ALERT: More than 600 MILLION birds predicted for tonight! Given the tragic mass window collisions in Chicago (see our previous post), it's an important time to dim nonessential outdoor lights at night & make your windows safer for birds: birdcast.info/science-to-act…

Congratulations Dr. Brad Garczynski for a successful PhD defense with @PurdueEAPS! His defense is titled “Coatings, carbonates, and closed-basin lakes: A Martian aqueous story." He is advised by Dr. Briony Horgan. #boilerup @ironywithab

Hey @LifeAtPurdue! Come learn about the @PurdueEAPS department tonight at Rainbow Callout 6-8pm! 🌈🌎☁️🌱🪐🛰️ purdue.edu/lgbtq/events/r…
